Gang, Just put the SSB board in my K2 [S/N 4858]. I have tried my Shure 444 with the K2 and seem to have no drive. I think I will try a portable telephone headset. I will need to get some bias for the mike from the K2 then I'll find out if I have a problem with the SSB board or my old tru

In addition to Nick's comments, these days "cheap" and "nonstandard" are no longer synonyms. Like optics and other highly-complex precision manufacturing processes, automation has brought the price of high-quality mic elements down to a few dollars. Almost all the various microphones sold for commu

Hear, hear! I have an "official" MH-2, and the element in it went south. Elecraft says "Call Bob". Bob's website says send lots of money, the mic, and wait a while. The Radio Shack element was $1.95, looks identical to the Heil element, and works great. The original dynamic element of the mic (fr

Hi Fred, The manufacturer of the MH2 microphone discontinued that model and we have been looking for a replacement. We are in discussions with another manufacturer now for a replacement hand mic, but it will be a couple of months before we can get it in. Fortunately we designed the K2 and KS

Fred, As Eric indicated, the K2 microphone configuration header can be plugged/wired to work with most any microphone having an 8 pin mic plug. Obtaining a microphone is easy - if you want to go the inexpensive route, pick up a CB microphone, they are plentiful and if it doesn't come with an 8 pi

I sold my MH2 a while back as it seemed totally out of character with the K2 even with the Elecraft label. It was way too large, had PTT switch that took a lot of pressure to operate, and had too stiff a coiled cord. The K2 also allows for function buttons on the mic to switch VFOs. It would be
